Standard Definition versus High Definition

Absolutely agree.

BD on my 50" Pioneer final generation TV (KRP-500M) is phenomenal. DVD is OK but there is a clear light years difference between the two.

yep , 50 inch would show the diff.

i was alluding to the supposed hd ts that are c. 32-37 ie; pointless

i have a 40 incher and it's just not big enough imo

the pioneer is a superb tv , wish i had one :)

Emerging from Lime Street Station, Liverpool, you are now faced by a curvy screen that must be 10m high and 50 to 100m long. It is showing ads and movie clips etc. The screen is so bright, even in full sunlight, that drivers find it distracting and dazzling.

Great HD images when viewed from 100m, but just a tad pixelated close-up.  I just marvel at how technology keeps striding on: this screen appeared quite quickly and seems almost to be some sort of flexible material stretched over a frame following the street front curve with a top to bottom curve as well. Maybe B&O will bring out a rolled up stretchable screen for full wall images at some point (but you might need to stand up the garden to take in the full view!)
